a decent stay

tram stop separate wet room small room cramped bathroom
I found the location quite good. The tram stop was really close to the building. the room was super clean. i also liked the separate wet room for the shower.
The room was a bit small. It was hard to move around with luggage. the bathroom felt a bit cramped too. It seemed quite dated.

The room i received was nothing like the pictures online , it was a small double room balcony , and felt much smaller than advertised. the bathroom was cramped , barely enough space to turn around in. breakfast was a letdown . The coffee tasted weak , and the selection felt very limited , especially considering the price. the walls seemed thin , i could hear noise from other rooms.
